Building a Life Beyond Violence: Courage, Change and Healing with Yazdaneh Galt

Episode 11

Tuesday, July 22, 2025 • Duration 23:50

In this deeply moving episode of For Her, With Her, we speak with Dr. Yazdaneh Amiryazdani Galt, who shares her courageous journey of escaping domestic violence, navigating complex legal and immigration systems, and rebuilding her life in Australia. Originally from Iran, Yazdaneh speaks candidly about the barriers she faced, from cultural isolation to legal hurdles, and how knowledge, planning, and the support of community and legal services helped her reclaim her future. Today, she is an accomplished audiologist, business owner, and proud mother, whose story inspired the Oscar-nominated film Shayda, directed by her daughter Noora Niasari. Yazdaneh reminds us that help is not charity, it’s a right, and shares her hard-won insights for women thinking about leaving violence. She also shares her hopes for a future where no woman has to risk everything to live free from fear.

Shifting the System: Holding People Using Violence to Account with Lucy Gregory

Episode 10

Tuesday, July 15, 2025 • Duration 35:43

In this episode of For Her, With Her, we tackle a crucial but often overlooked part of preventing violence: how we hold people who use violence to account. Lucy Gregory, CEO of Domestic Violence Prevention Centre (DVPC), joins us to unpack how accountability goes beyond the justice system. Lucy reflects on why language matters when talking about people who use violence and how we can support men to step into healthier, safer versions of masculinity. We also discuss how programs, like those provided by SPEAQ and Men’s Line Australia, support men to take responsibility and discuss the barriers that still exist, including a lack of investment in prevention programs, as well as culturally safe, community-led responses for First Nations and diverse communities. Lucy shares her hopes for a future where equality is the norm, and where services like hers are no longer needed.

If you or someone you know needs support, you can call Men’s Line Australia or connect with local behaviour change programs via SPEAQ. For those affected by violence, reach out to Women’s Legal Service Queensland or call Triple Zero (000) in an emergency. DISCLAIMER:

Parenting After Separation: Legal Pathways and Practical Tips with Clare Dart

Episode 9

Tuesday, July 8, 2025 • Duration 34:00

In this episode of For Her, With Her, we sit down with Barrister Clare Dart to explore the complexities of parenting after separation. Practising in family law, child protection, and domestic violence since 1997, Clare unpacks the key legal pathways for parenting arrangements, including recent amendments to the Family Law Act. We also debunk common myths, like the belief in a ‘magic age’ where children can decide, or that equal time is always the default. Clare explains the role of mediation, including how it has evolved into a safer and more accessible process for victim-survivors, and why it often results in better outcomes than court battles. We break down what to expect if court becomes necessary, the importance of gathering evidence and thinking about long-term parenting needs. We also discuss the importance of early legal advice and the support that’s available through services like Women’s Legal Service Queensland.

Protecting the Whole Family: Why Animal Safety Matters in Domestic and Family Violence with Monique Dam

Episode 8

Tuesday, July 1, 2025 • Duration 23:40

In this episode of For Her, With Her, we chat with Monique Dam, CEO of Lucy’s Project, to explore the link between domestic and family violence and animal abuse. Monique explains how perpetrators use threats or harm to animals as a tool of control, preventing victim-survivors seeking safety. We explore the barriers that make it harder for women to escape violence with their animals and the growing movement to make shelters, refuges, and housing more animal-inclusive. We discuss how animals are finally being recognised in legal frameworks (such as the recently amended Family Law Act) and why services like Pets in Crisis are critical lifelines for families in Queensland. We also discuss how the community, including veterinarians and frontline services,can help by recognising animal abuse as a red flag for domestic violence.

Supporting Women’s Safety on Their Terms with Michelle Royes from DVConnect

Episode 7

Tuesday, June 24, 2025 • Duration 24:14

In this episode of For Her, With Her, we talk to Michelle Royes, Interim CEO of DVConnect, to explore the realities of separation and safety for women experiencing domestic and family violence. Michelle explains why separation is often the most dangerous time and why leaving isn’t always the safest option for everyone. We unpack why statements like 'why doesn’t she just leave?' can do more harm than good, and why we need to reframe conversations around supporting victim-survivors to make their safest next choice, in their own time. Michelle shares how services like DVConnect offer state-wide, trauma-informed support for women, children, men and pets (Pets in Crisis program), and why friends and family play a critical role in listening without judgement. We also discuss why stopping the cycle of abuse is the responsibility of the whole community, and why services like Men’s Line Australia are essential to creating safer futures for all.

Episode 5

Tuesday, June 10, 2025 • Duration 32:46

In this episode of For Her, With Her, we are joined by Vanessa Burn, Head of the Migration Law Practice at Women's Legal Centre ACT, to explore how domestic and family violence intersects with Australia's migration system. Vanessa shares how women on temporary visas are particularly vulnerable to coercive control and manipulation, often fearing deportation or losing their children if they seek help. We unpack myths around migration, visas, and legal rights, including the misconception that you must be a citizen to access services like Women's Legal Service Queensland or Australia’s network of Community Legal Centres.
